1979
Spurs fans are devastated when Bobby Dandridge hits a 12-foot jumper from the right baseline with eight seconds to play to cap a furious comeback that carries the Washington Bullets from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to a 107-105 National Basketball Association victory over the Spurs in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals. The Spurs lose the series 4-3 becoming only the third team to lose a series in which they were up 3-1. The boys in silver and black would have to wait another 20 years to make it to the NBA Finals.
